Visited the city after the closure of Beichuan County: dog guard body bags
back to Shanghai has been a few days. In this busy, has a thriving vitality of the city, as long as a close your eyes, my mind will still continue to flash out of Beichuan, has been riddled with tall flashed, the city can no longer be reconstructed.
to the North River, I met many of its peers , said late, the city of Beichuan has been sealed, the road blockade before and after three, the army resolutely defending, even if the Mianyang Municipal give you a certificate for, but also a waste of effort.
I am very depressed, but the million can not be reconciled. Wenchuan earthquake, the heaviest damage, the most tragic, is the North River. twenty thousand people of the town, there are more than 8,000 people died, many bodies are still buried under the rubble.
closed after the city, this is not a living the life of the city, the big picture of what will be? this empty, buried the dead city of nearly ten thousand lives, how some of the miserable? If the head of the lake once the flood, who left for the North River The final figure?
So, I decided to venture into the North River.
to
5 24 yesterday morning, my back pack, pack ready, and the two young people of Shanxi Branch of Jiang Hongjing mm Xinhua News Agency, and the very close to Old Town in Beichuan County, also did not encounter the police to intercept. my heart whispered from time to time: not to say that there are three lines of defense do?
orderly County Street, do not see any signs of the heavily guarded, it touches into a small supermarket The last of our depots. We bought a lot of biscuits, milk and mineral water. although there is a disaster, but the store is still sub-boss, the national crisis is not financial.
I glanced at my rented Volkswagen Zheliang car, looks ordinary,Bailey UGG boots, really want to buy a red paper, write ?
mountain breeze blowing, the smell of muddy cocktail of bleach, disinfectant and the smell of burning char, rather than after. on both sides of the road, there are many soldiers on the scene. fields, soldiers and peasants together in the harvest of rapeseed and inserted rice seedlings. day was gloomy, no one heavily armed, no one Shegang inventory. passing several highway toll stations, all free of charge release.
rapidly passing us all the way.
more thorough investigation of
days gloomy, Xixi yo drop of rain began.
Panasonic driver suddenly the throttle, the speed suddenly slow. I used to see in the window, appeared at the mountain's uphill road blocks, there are many police on guard.
finally inventory of the encounter. we can only park in the side. companions told me softly, here from the North River have one or two kilometers into the North River is the only path.
under a boulder rolled down from the mountains lie on the roadside volume of foot room half as big. the edge of the establishment of two iron barricades, black and white banner that read mm They are wearing masks, only to reveal a pair of watchful eyes. any of the three of us move in the monitoring of their.
first came all the way journalists are discouraged to return. Then again, like a Die decent team, the body camouflage, military shoes, cap, arm and wearing a Red Cross armband word epidemic, carrying heavy shoulder bags, heavily armed. But even such a , also soldiers on guard Hezu down.
the soldiers shouted.
the original, this is a group of volunteers, looked to the side, in addition to the cliffs, looked everywhere armed police guard, there is no opportunity.
has been reluctant to see us leave, a claim the local propaganda department of the men, came to us to see The press card is too small river, he waved his right hand, said: , then the right to see a North River. crack, accidentally, the whole foot would sink inside.
no wind, no one language. At this moment, I have only one thought, the farther away from the police's attention as possible. because only then can we This has been waiting for an opportunity to enter the city without a life.
finally reached the top, it was a cemetery on a towering cliff, overlooking the North River to the city.
I picked up my long lens, from afar, valley fog hazy, vaguely can see the ruins of a never-ending. dark clouds, the clouds low, below the ruins of almost no color, gray and white, is this loss of life of the city's main color. the air, faint about some filled with floating debris from a distance, the smell.
Hill rags on a women's station. through the woods,UGG boots cheap, she looked dead city, like a sculpture, silent. dull eyes Although there is no tears, but it can make people truly feel the sorrow of them.
I asked softly: : only in the heart of prayer: God save the common people!
sky seems dark, I just want to hurry hurry down the mountain, come into the North River, so close to leave this city last images of suffering.
honest, I can not remember how the last foot of the mountain climb, only know to go flutter scared. Along the way, is a thought in supporting me: step down, the North River will be one step closer to the city.
finally reached rock bottom. I sweat soaked head, it should be is not all tired. only See a few scratches on his left arm rub, do not remember a program of Shashi Hou. mind went blank. and then looked up and up, mountain cliffs, exposing the soil ridges, hanging rock, wilderness.
this , I felt scared.
dead city
finally see the city of Beichuan.
I was shocked by the sight: several high peaks towering, cloud layers falls, the following is not a signs of life in the dead city, buried a lot of people want a pile of bodies in the rubble and ruins. fragility of life, it is powerless in the face of nature.
any one in this corner of town, have suffered a devastating blow, eyes are brick beam in disorder, everything has changed shape, crooked, like Dali's paintings.
nightmarish scenes as if the scene, but it has untold details: a fracture of the floor, one falling on the ground hairpin, a broken wedding glass frame, a pile of rickety furniture, clothing and footwear in the mud, smashed refrigerator television, rock crushed cars, and so on. In short, this is like a Field tragic ruins left behind by fire, swept all but broken, or broken.
big shoes I was wearing the military, usually find very handy, not afraid of nails, steel, do not worry about slips,UGG boots clearance, but this time I It was too clumsy, walking the streets of Montreal in the rubble, Shua Shua sounds. I can not re-tread the earth, my feet under the rubble, there are countless souls coiled.
I would like to hear the voice of the North River , but can not hear: car lying on the road center, dead; houses collapsed and the ground, dead; the river to stop flowing, is dead; broken chimney smoke, dead; store messy all over the floor, dead. all are dead , leaving no life. in front of all seems to be solidified, and deathly quiet.
these circumstances, as people simply can not control the tears. my heart cried: North River, you are too miserable, the human should have such a shocking tragedy!
But I can not cry. I'm afraid alerted the death of this sad quiet, afraid that alerted the reinforced concrete was also under pressure in the spirits of the dead.
never had this kind of experience: When I stopped, as if living in the boundaries of death, no life. If this time a fish swim in the water, I will probably hear the voice of its tail swinging.
Just then, I The phone rang. that ring appallingly, fear is inevitable. I took, but broken, somewhere, I do not know, this is heaven to the ring, or a warning sent to hell.
again two minutes, then rang, turned and asked if I was interested to answer the question of a business survey. I closed the phone angrily.
At this time, has been too tightly to cover themselves Xiao Zhao, dig the speaker phone is open, select the first Jackie Chan's song has reached a dead city come to a fork in the road deep in
. Before the earthquake, like the downtown here. an antique arches, skew, and not down, it was a flying stone hit the inside of the steel was exposed.
have a yellow baby carriage under the arch, one is flat, rock must be run over it, the wheels stopped turning at that moment, it's little masters?
like a commercial street in ruins , a figure suddenly appeared. He disgraced, like a victims.
I asked: I came home, it immediately out of town.
waved goodbye to him after a huge propaganda billboards suddenly standing in the eyes. billboards did not rely on the house collapsed, but the cracks stains, below is a mess.
seven concrete pillars Alice next eight split , a Santana deflated and lying next to. on the ground there are a booklet, scattered on the ground, I picked up a look, is the head of Beichuan book, the names above are numerous.
I hesitated, and did not take. In addition to the North River last image, I do not want to take any thing here.
the streets, everywhere are body bags, and boxes of mineral water, bread and tents, a large withdrawal of tension and confusion is evident.
so I rarely take pictures, but in the meantime, empty the lens becomes the only option. do not have to render horrors, one empty scene, is the city the last witness.
careful around a lot foreign body in a bubble in the reservoir, I heard a dog barking far away, called a few times, and low down, ease called up. It screamed a hurry, probably is to see us, but we are looking for a long time, can not see a trace of it.
died in this city to go for a long time, have no fear when the original is also one of the syrup used to flavor. surprised me the most is there even a fly, mosquitoes can not see. perhaps shed too much vaccination teams disinfectants, they were killed?
thought here, I simply get rid of the stuffiness of the mask Carefully smell the air, and usually when the hospital almost smell the smell. I never did wear gloves,Discount UGG boots, died in this city, and I did not shake hands, and I did not fear the epidemic.
only, damming Lake is still hanging overhead, too much fear of aftershocks, it waterfalls. that time, we can all share the do?
the sky and it began to rain drops. is more than 19:00. I suddenly felt hunger and thirst. who in addition to the camera, empty-handed. come hurry, no time to even take bottles of mineral water.
scattered on the ground there are many food and mineral water, although tempting, but not a last resort point, absolutely not touch .
then move forward, in a dilapidated bridge, I suddenly saw a few stools next to a case of water, although the seal has been opened, but there are a lot of bottles left never had one, so I do not care on too much, unscrew the bottle, big mouth and poured them into the stomach.
creatures
Xiao Zhao excellent visual acuity was found in front of a dog. He told me to stay away, frightened hungry and anxious to bite.
I've never kept a dog, but I know a dog is man's friend. only this while, listening to too much publicity about disease prevention education, I also had some doubts about it.
I first take a long shots, keep enough distance with it. This is a as if expecting something, as if he gave: the belongings of the person holding the dark, what is doing?
totally did not expect to be here to meet life, it makes me a thrill, even though just a puppy . I thought it was hungry, busy hosts back on the road a piece of bread dropped, close to the fed, but it smell a smell, and shrink back and to continue to look at us helplessly. small river and then brought mineral water fed, It does not drink.
I know that dogs who have been assigned to shoot to kill the epidemic hit the object. This was man's best friend's dog, now is able to appear here, half-way escaped the epidemic do not know How many persons who robbed and killed.
I do not know why, survivors of this puppy, not only did not dodge us, they and we are very close. Is it a sixth sense can tell, people do not stand in front of Malicious? At this time, I suddenly noticed it before, placed a few body bags. Suddenly, I'm like a burst of current hit like: This is a loyal dog, did not play rocks it to death, bullets expel it, and hunger can not lure it, guarding it till the end, perhaps it is the owner of the body bags.
aware of it, I shed tears again . vague tears, the little dog has been looked at me in silence, blazing blue eyes.
puppy I want a photo, to the north of Sichuan this empty ghost town when the background : birth, death, love, eternity, death in this city mastery.
just take a step, to close up the puppy, hind legs limp. Little River was deeply moved its eyes look forward, not themselves, the men vowed to type in this little life out of the city, saying it can not stay here alone.
can we know, it is difficult to take it out: We are secretly slipped in, out only one way, take the dog out, destined to escape the police's eyes. In addition, the disaster has now been jittery, let anyone see it, must immediately put to death. There is also a concern is the area the puppy million to the epidemic is also true out and the three of us became a sinner.
hesitation in between us, I do not know where they emerge from a small brown dog, jump, and the small But both want to close us, and quite wariness. we quietly left, a small brown dog staring at us, never saying a word. small
long way to go, I do not have the heart, and then look back at it, Talia are still looking at us: Farewell, dead dog in town, stop looking at me, it made me less guilty.
Since then, I never thought a photo, all the way back, all the way to thinking about puppies. go far, the valley came the barking dogs, the sky black, calls still.
the way back, see a lifting equipment, but also see a forklift, all withdrew . I think this should be completely abandon the North River sign it.
parting
way out, we can only bite the bullet and break. I hid the CF card hideouts for fear of these records may be dead city Beichuan detained last image.
see us, the police roadblock was shocked, and we will put a calm. Fortunately outpost has been shift, not a call that when people go. by their wonder child gap, we Quickstep Jishan, the city escaped death.
night, we returned to Chengdu,. busy a while, I finally could not withstand the exertion, no underwear and fell off the bed asleep.
daze being, I like to hear the dogs barking, it would seem that many of the spirits from the death of a buried city issued a bellow. woke up, I looked outside, the lights, the computer did not sleep.
That night, I could not sleep, over and over again, built in the town died, and the piece of loyal dog, has been shaking in front of me.
Beichuan have been impossible to rebuild the site. which departments and regions ruins, and the ruins of a never coming together with the ghosts of the eye is not on, will become a disaster in the history of mankind can ever forget. that kind of memory to be shared by the human. And I am most contrite is not be there to hold hold a puppy, my camera did not leave a photo of me with it.
all of this, can no longer compensate.
